court upon verdict or plea of:

(a) Murder of the first or second degree,
kidnapping in the first degree, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault of a
child who is less than 16 years of age, lewdness with a child pursuant to NRS 201.230, an offense for which the

if the person is found to be a habitual criminal pursuant to NRS 207.010, a habitually fraudulent felon
pursuant to NRS 207.014 or a habitual
felon pursuant to NRS 207.012, the
court shall not suspend the execution of the sentence imposed or grant
probation to the person.

(b) A category E felony, except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph, the court shall suspend the execution of the
sentence imposed and grant probation to the person. The court may, as it deems
advisable, decide not to suspend the execution of the sentence imposed and
grant probation to the person if, at the time of sentencing, it is established
that the person:

(1) Was serving a term of probation or was
on parole at the time the crime was committed, whether in this State or
elsewhere, for a felony conviction;

(2) Had previously had the person’s

Ę If the
person denies the existence of a previous conviction, the court shall determine
the issue of the previous conviction after hearing all relevant evidence
presented on the issue by the prosecution and the person. At such a hearing,
the person may not challenge the validity of a previous conviction. For the
purposes of this paragraph, a certified copy of a felony conviction is prima
facie evidence of conviction of a prior felony.

grant probation as the court deems advisable.

investigation from the Chief Parole and Probation Officer. The Chief Parole and
Probation Officer shall submit the report of the presentence investigation to
the court not later than 45 days after receiving a request for a presentence
investigation from the county clerk. If the report of the presentence
investigation is not submitted by the Chief Parole and Probation Officer within
45 days, the court may grant probation without the report.

6. If the court determines that a person
is otherwise eligible for probation, the court shall, when determining the

would facilitate timely payments by the person of an obligation, if any, for
the support of a child and the payment of any such obligation which is in
arrears.

conditions, the court shall discharge the defendant and dismiss the
proceedings. Discharge and dismissal pursuant to this section is without
adjudication of guilt and is not a conviction for purposes of this section or
for purposes of employment, civil rights or any statute or regulation or
license or questionnaire or for any other public or private purpose, but is a
conviction for the purpose of additional penalties imposed for second or
subsequent convictions or the setting of bail. Discharge and dismissal restores
the defendant, in the contemplation of the law, to the status occupied before

pursuant to NRS 176A.280.

2. If the offense committed by the
defendant involved the use or threatened use of force or violence or if the
defendant was previously convicted in this State or in any other jurisdiction
of a felony that involved the use or threatened use of force or violence, the

confinement or the order that the probationer be held is withdrawn.

4. Any conviction for violating a federal,
state or local law, except a minor traffic offense, which is committed while
the probationer is on probation constitutes probable cause for the purposes of
this section and an inquiry need not be held.

5. For the purposes of this section, the
inquiring officer may administer oaths and issue subpoenas to compel the
attendance of witnesses and the production of books and papers.

1. If any witness refuses to attend or

2. Any amount of restitution remaining
unpaid constitutes a civil liability arising upon the date of discharge and is

3. Except as otherwise provided in
subsection 4, a person who has been honorably discharged from probation:

(a) Is free from the terms and conditions of

(h) Shall disclose the conviction to a gaming
establishment and to the State and its agencies, departments, boards,

employment, license or other permit. As used in this paragraph, “establishment”
has the meaning ascribed to it in NRS
463.0148.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph
(h), need not disclose the conviction to an employer or prospective employer.

4. Except as otherwise provided in this
subsection, the civil rights set forth in subsection 3 are not restored to a
person honorably discharged from probation if the person has previously been

discharge from probation.

(e) Two or more times of a felony, unless a
felony for which the person has been convicted arose out of the same act,
transaction or occurrence as another felony, in which case the convictions for
those felonies shall be deemed to constitute a single conviction for the
purposes of this paragraph.

Ę A person
described in this subsection may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for
an order granting the restoration of civil rights as set forth in subsection 3.

5. The prior conviction of a person who
has been honorably discharged from probation may be used for purposes of
impeachment. In any subsequent prosecution of the person, the prior conviction
may be pleaded and proved if otherwise admissible.

6. Except for a person subject to the
limitations set forth in subsection 4, upon honorable discharge from probation,
the person so discharged must be given an official document which provides:

(a) That the person has received an honorable
discharge from probation;

(b) That the person has been restored to his or
her civil rights to vote and to serve as a juror in a civil action as of the
date of honorable discharge from probation;

(c) The date on which the person’s civil right to

State or elsewhere and whose official documentation of honorable discharge from
probation is lost, damaged or destroyed may file a written request with a court
of competent jurisdiction to restore the person’s civil rights pursuant to this
section. Upon verification that the person has been honorably discharged from
probation and is eligible to be restored to the civil rights set forth in
subsection 3, the court shall issue an order restoring the person to the civil
rights set forth in subsection 3. A person must not be required to pay a fee to

3.

or

3. Who has otherwise failed to qualify for
an honorable discharge as provided in NRS 176A.850,

Ę is not
eligible for an honorable discharge and must be given a dishonorable discharge.
A dishonorable discharge releases the probationer from any further obligation,
except a civil liability arising on the date of discharge for any unpaid
restitution which is enforceable pursuant to NRS
176.275, but does not entitle the probationer to any privilege conferred by
NRS 176A.850.
